Typedef Documentation

typedef int(* ml_train_datagen_cb)(float **input, float **label, bool *last, void *user_data)

Dataset generator callback function for train/valid/test data.

The user of the API must provide this callback function to supply data to the model and register the callback with ml_train_dataset_add_generator(). The model will call this callback whenever it needs more data. This function should provide a single element of input and label data in the passed containers. The containers passed by the caller will already be allocated with sufficient space to contain the data. This function callback should fill the data row-wise in the containers provided. The containers represent array of memory to hold inputs for the model. If the model contains two inputs, then input[0] will hold the first input, and input[1] will hold the second input. The same applies for labels as well. The number of inputs and labels, and the size of each input and label should match with the shape of each input and label set in the model. The order of the inputs/labels, in case of multiple of inputs/labels, will be determined based on the sequence of addition of the input layers to the model.

Since :: 6.0

Note:: This function can be called multiple times in parallel when total number of samples are set as a property for this dataset. In this case, last is only used for verification purposes. If total number of samples for the dataset is unknown, this function will be called in sequence.; last has to be set true when filling the last input, label.

Parameters:

[out]	input	Container to hold all the input data. Should not be freed by the user.
[out]	label	Container to hold corresponding label data. Should not be freed by the user.
[out]	last	Container to notify if data is finished. Set true if no more data to provide, else set false. Should not be freed by the user.
[in]	user_data	User application's private data passed along with ml_train_dataset_add_generator().

Returns:: 0 on success. Otherwise a negative error value.

Return values:

ML_ERROR_NONE	Successful.
ML_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER	Invalid parameter.

A sample implementation of this function is below: Note : input data information available from outside this function. num_samples : total number of data samples in the dataset. count : number of samples already given. num_inputs : number of inputs. num_labels : number of labels. input_length[num_inputs] : length of the input. With (batch, c, h, w) as input shape, the length will be c * h * w. label_length[num_labels] : length of the label. With (batch, l) as label shape, then length will be l.

 // function signature :
 // int rand_dataset_generator (float **input, float **label, bool *last,
 // void *user_data).

 // This sample fills inputs and labels with random data.
 srand(0);
 if (count >= num_samples) {
   *last = true;
   // handle preparation for start of next epoch
 } else {
   *last = false;
 }

 // Fill input data
 for (int idx = 0; idx < num_inputs; ++ idx) {
   for (int len = 0; len < input_length[idx]; ++ len) {
     input[idx][len] = rand();
   }
 }

 // Fill label data
 for (int idx = 0; idx < num_inputs; ++ idx) {
   for (int len = 0; len < label_length[idx]; ++ len) {
     label[idx][len] = rand();
   }
 }

 // Update the helper variables
 count += 1;

 return ML_ERROR_NONE;

Below is an example of the usage of this sample:

 int status;
 void * user_data;
 ml_train_dataset_h handle;
 status = ml_train_dataset_create(&handle);
 if (status != ML_ERROR_NONE) {
    // handle error case.
    return status;
 }

 status = ml_train_dataset_add_generator(dataset,
      ML_TRAIN_DATASET_MODE_TRAIN, getBatch_train, user_data);
 if (status != ML_ERROR_NONE) {
    // handle error case.
    return status;
 }

 // Destroy the handle if not added to a model.
 status = ml_train_dataset_destroy(handle);
 if (status != ML_ERROR_NONE) {
    // handle error case
